Traditionally, a wedding usually consists of a flower girl and a ring holder. These children usually come from the bride's side and are children about three to ten years old.
But what if you have a big family and many friends with children? What if you want to include a family with a fiancee? Or you don't want to include your friends and family in their "girls" just because they are older than traditional flower girls and rings.
Everything about the wedding tradition is changing, and the role of the wedding party is no exception. This provides everyone with new opportunities and reduces opportunities to hurt family feelings.
The alternative role of your little child is sufficient. You only need to be creative! Think outside the basket or pillow and look for some interesting and equally cute ideas. In this way, everyone has contributed.
Send a small bouquet or individual flowers to one or two girls and then to the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom.
Let older children become junior bridesmaids or groomsmen rather than flower girls and rings.
Let a few girls bring your train behind you instead of flowering in front of you.
Girls can carry a basket of flowers with them as they walk through the aisles. This is usually best for older girls who are not so easy to distract and don't "eat eggs."
Children are required to deliver shows, bird seeds, scrolls, bubbles or other flyers before or after the ceremony.
Don't forget the pet! You can of course include a family dog as a ring holder or "best dog". Just make sure you really want to call him/her and say that someone is responsible for handling the dog, so there is no ring out of control! In addition, it is best to make sure the dog is friendly and can handle a large number of people.
If you can't help but include small children who can't stand or walk long enough to get off the aisle, why not let older kids pull them into the aisles in the decorative car? This will definitely get a lot of "awwww..."
A hot new trend is that the children carry a sign when they walk in the aisle in front of you. "The bride is here" is a popular one. After the ceremony, they can follow you "just married"!
If you really want to join more than one ring, but still like the traditional ring on the pillow, why isn't there a little guy with the bride's ring and another little guy with the groom's ring?
Another popular new trend, usually best suited for outdoor weddings, is that children are blowing bubbles to announce the bride's entrance. For indoor weddings, the bells are also very popular.
If you think your child is best to walk in the aisle and look cute, instead of performing tasks, then there are some good options, so that they are at least not empty-handed:
- Flower ball
- paper windmills
- Scepter
- Bible or book
- Balloon
- Parasol
- Artificial birds and birds nesting
You don't even need to have the same number of boys and girls, or the same number of children from each side of the family. Some wedding parties don't even ask them to wear the same clothes or suits. The more children you have, the more difficult it is to coordinate the parents and children of these children to purchase the goods and accessories on their wedding day. The children grow so fast, you may find yourself wearing a mess of dresses and dresses before the wedding!
Maybe set a color, such as all ivory or all white, and use accessories such as bow ties and headwear. Allowing some personality may make the child more comfortable and the parents can afford it. Parents will appreciate this gesture.
Most of the time flower girls and rings are just for performance. Adult wedding attendants can bring their own rings. But you can miss some serious cuteness by cutting the role of your beloved child.
The alternative is great for everyone. If someone "gets out" or just exhausted before their important moment, then there is no sweat! You still get the ring, and there are still plenty of opportunities to take pictures, whether it's the clumsy little guys coming back to perform [always showing them well after they grow up], or the sleeping sweets at I Do's before the change or mother's embrace.
